12 YRS AGO TODAY I WAS AT HOME AT MY PARENTS HOUSE IN SAN ANTONIO. I HAD TRANSFERRED TO A STORE THERE AND WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO MOVE IN TO. I WAS VERY GLAD THAT I WAS AT HOME BECAUSE WHEN I WALKED DOWN THE STAIRS TO GET MY COFFEE I REMEMBER THINKING WE WERE WATCHING A MOVIE LIKE THE DAY AFTER. THEN IT HIT ME THAT THE TV WAS ON CNN AND THAT I WAS WATCHING PLANES CRASH INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. I REMEMBER THE ONLY SOUND I HEARD WAS MY COFFEE MUG HITTING THE CERAMIC TILES IN THE KITCHEN. AS I WAS GOING TO WORK I REMEMBER THE STREETS BEING EERILY SILENT. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THE CEO OF THE COMPANY CUT THROUGH THE SATELLITE RADIO ASKING FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE DUE TO THE HORRIBLE ATTACKS ON AMERICA. THAT NIGHT I ALSO SAW ONE THE MOST AMAZING PATRIOTIC SITES I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE STREETS WERE JAMMED WITH PEOPLE DRIVING IN THE STREETS AND RUNNING THROUGH THE STREETS WITH AMERICAN FLAGS " YELLING GOD BLESS AMERICA"!!! I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH SOME HAVE FORGOTTEN AND HATE IS RAGING THROUGH THIS WORLD THAT NIGHT WE STOOD UNITED AS AMERICANS. THAT NIGHT WE WERE ONE NATION UNDER GOD! FOR DAYS AFTER NO PLANES FLEW NO TRAINS MOVED BUT SOMEHOW AFTER THAT NIGHT I KNEW AMERICA WOULD STAND TALL AND WE WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH!!! ~ RAYLEE
